Famous Shipwreck of the Fleet of 1715

In July of 1715 a fleet of 12 ships left from Havana, Cuba headed to Spain and loaded with treasure. Seven days later, near Vero Beach, Florida the entire fleet disappeared in a hurricane with a loss of over a thousand lives. Miraculously many of their shipmates managed to reach shore, floating on the wreckage of the ships.

In 1963 famous treasurer hunter Mel Fisher began bringing to the surface what was still left in the seas of the treasure of silver and gold cob coins. Even as recently as a few years ago treasure is still being brought up from this famous shipwreck site.
